Sophanes Production 'Scrooged Up!' Opens November 30

SALISBURY, MD---In the Dan Roberts play Scrooged Up!, it’s one catastrophe after another for a community theatre trying put on a Christmas play without enough actors.

The comedy is the third annual Christmas show performed by Sophanes, Salisbury University’s student theatre organization. Performances are 7 p.m. Friday, November 30; 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, December 1; and 2 p.m. Sunday, December 2, in the Black Box Theatre of Fulton Hall.

Scrooged Up! is suitable for all ages. Admission is by donation of money or toys. All toys and 50 percent of the proceeds benefit Toys for Tots.

In the play, the “resourceful” director of the Hillsdale Community Theatre tries to put on A Christmas Carol by triple and quadruple-casting the roles. Since everyone in sight has been recruited, the cast also fills in as costume designers, stagehands and technicians. The impossibility of the situation brings tensions to a comical head as the final rehearsal invites one calamity after another.
